Arsenal host Chelsea in blockbuster clash in 2018/19 Premier League
Kick-off : 5:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Emirates Stadium, London
Arsenal are doing OK in 2018/19 Premier League but will definitely look to improve moving ahead. The Gunners are eyeing for at least that top four spot.
Arsenal are at the moment fifth in the points table after 22 games with 41 points. Against Chelsea it will be a real test for them and they will need to produce their best football to topple them.
The Gunners have their next three games against Manchester United, Cardiff City and Manchester City respectively across the FA Cup and Premier League.
On the other hand, Chelsea are too doing OK in 2018/19 Premier League but will surely look to improve. The Blues are just one point behind third placed Tottenham and nine points behind leaders Liverpool.
Chelsea currently are placed fourth in the points table after 22 games with 47 points. Arsenal should be tough opponents especially away but that should not stop Blues from playing their best football and hopefully getting full three points.
